• Smart Device Development Disable Horz Scrolling

  Is there any way to disable horizontal scrolling on a form Hi Travis, If it is a CF V2 application you can disable auto scrolling by setting the AutoScroll property to false. If it is a CF V1 application auto-scrolling is always on, but you may put your controls over a panel that resizes when screen orientation changes so that the panel is always within the visible region on the screen. In this case, the scroll bars will not be shown. Cheers, Anthony Wong [MSFT] ...Show All
